White bump pimple on her nose

[dppitone]

Our 6" queen trigger developed a couple of growths above the mouth that have white caps on them the size of mini BBs. The best way to describe them relative to human experience is a pimple with a whitehead. I did a bunch of internet research to hopefully identify the condition, but was met mostly with opinions that were not based on personal experience. At the end I went to Bob Fenner's site, and he had a couple of photos of fish that had something similar going on. He said he "believed" they were incidents of lymphocystis. But even the expert wasn't sure. But if it is lymphocystis, he explained it's a virus that will eventually subside with good care and water quality. So for the purpose of reference, I decided to post this up so folks who research this problem in the future will get some decent info. I will update the thread to record her condition as it progresses. Below are pics. The first three are of the trigger, centered on the bumps and white caps. The fourth is our Titan trigger "Monster" because he's pretty darn cute. Photos taken under 20k MHs.
